    Yes, Trump was personally aware of every document in possession of the FBI.

    Not really.... I can have an FBI document created TODAY implicating Mike Pence in the Uvalde shootings... one phone call would do it.

    I would care if there were anything of truth behind the document... and Comer has a near ZERO chance of making that case...

    What, rather, is your proof? You are on the side, intimating that there is some government cover up. The FBI did investigate allegations against Biden, and found nothing prosecutable. It is therefore their policy, to not make public, any information about the particulars of the investigation.

    Now, Representative Comer wants to come look over the FBI's shoulder, to appraise their work. And Director Wray says "fine, come in & do that." But that doesn't serve Rep. Comer's true purpose, which is to muckrake. That is why Wray is not going to release the documents of the investigation, which turned up no criminal behavior: because then Comer would use information from that investigation-- which is supposed to stay private, if there is no indictment-- and selectively, publicly release whatever details would make Biden look bad. If Rep. Comer was interested in oversight, Wray's offer should be perfectly acceptable. But Comer is only interested in partisan political propaganda. The Republican Chairman's trying to make hay over this, is a perfect example of the "weaponization of government."

    Clearly that is not the fbi policy, it’s the fbi policy when dealing with Dems alone. Weaponizing the govt is a leftist thing.

    The FBI has acknowledged they have a document in their possession but they have refused to turn it over to the House committee where the public will be able to see it and you say Comer can't be trusted? That sounds like an oxymoron.

    If there is nothing to the document Comer has asked for then why has Wray refused to turn it over? It's not classified. Comer wants to make the document public while Wray wants to keep it private.

    So … you think the Steele dossier should have been handed over to Congress and made public before the 2016 election?

    I can report a tip to the FBI line, which I'm pretty sure would create an FBI document (probably electronic to start), even one that will be put in the "conspiracy theory" pile... like mine ....and Biden taking a bribe...

    So you’re assuming this document concerning Biden is a lie like the Steele dossier turned out to be?

    I think the Steele Dossier will comparatively be judged an encylopedia compared to more Rudy bullshit...

    I’m not commenting on the truthfulness of either document. I’m asking you whether you take a consistent position.
    If you think the FBI should disclose this report, you must also think the FBI should have disclosed the Steele report when they got it.

    Right?

    And you think the FBI should have disclosed the Steele dossier before the 2016 election?

    BUZZZZZZ That is incorrect, making you ineligible for Final Jeopardy...

    SNIP
    Despite the accommodation, Comer said Monday that the FBI is still not in compliance with the subpoena to turn over the physical document to the committee.

    "At the briefing, the FBI again refused to hand over the unclassified record to the custody of the House Oversight Committee," Comer said. "And we will now initiate contempt of Congress hearings this Thursday."

    Yeah, and it being reported that the “source” of the documents the repubs want released is none other than the brown sideburn Rudy Guiliani

    Yep…that makes it just a fact now in rightwinglandia that Rudy is very upstanding and only tell the truth

    Hearing the Biden Haters talking a few days ago, I figured Joe would be in Federal lockup and was getting ready to resign..

    Comer is FOS, he can't provide real facts just innuendo. Why discuss innuendo?
